Obama's Gulf War –
BP Sells Its Naming Rights
Welcome to Deepwater Graham-Shelby

Determined still to make a buck –
    like Goldman they are masters –
BP will sell the naming rights
    to all of its oil rig disasters.

Those named need not have been involved
    with any of their worst.
Why not name some for Lindsey Graham
    whose one-track mind is cursed?

Two trains of thought in the same month?
    That's not how Lindsey's brain's designed.
Confuse the man with climate change
    when immigration's close behind?

Or how 'bout Shameless Shelby's Shtick?
    His price manipulators
Face monkey-see-so-monkey-do,
     short-selling imitators.

Thank goodness U.S. MMS
    has BP's welfare well in hand.
Like The Fed and SEC,
    there's little they don't understand.

So when leaks last four hours or more,
    names face Big Pharma competitions.
"Cialis" vs. "Graham-Shelby"?
    Of course, sell short the politicians.

How many incumbents are we going to miss
Whose "Drill, Baby, Drill" has resulted in this?
